Lana is a diva that WWE has really big plans for, but she hasn't had an official match. At least not yet... WWE are now advertising Lana to team with on screen boyfriend Dolph Ziggler against Rusev and Summer Rae in a mixed tag match at the WWE live event on September 4th in Hampton, Virginia. Ziggler is currently out of action after Rusev brutally attacked him using a crutch, though in actuality it was a way to write him out of the storyline while he films a WWE movie in Vancouver. It's still expected that Ziggler will face Rusev at SummerSlam either in a singles match or in the above mixed tag scenario, though the mixed tag would probably make more sense for the Night of Champions PPV, which could well be WWE's thinking setting that match for live events in September. At this point, WWE seems to be keeping the Lana character as a Russian woman who is getting used to American culture. There were rumours that she might use her real name, CJ Perry, with an expected storyline admission that she's really American, but there's no indication that WWE will go with those plans right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcKrf_XZ0Hs Lana's a very good talker and easily the best actress on the roster. Can she wrestle at all? Guess we'll find out soon.
